OlL-STOVE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 259,546, dated June 13,1882,

Application filed November 4, 1:881. (No model.) Patented in CanadaNovember 10, 1881, No. 13,661. I

1" c all whom tt may concern:

Be it known that 1, JAMES IREDALE of To ronto, in the Province ofOntario, Canada, have invented a new and useful Improvement inOil-Stoves, of which thefollowing is afull, clear, and exactdescription.

My invention consists of the general construction and arrangement of theoven and combustion-chamber, and of the same in combination with theimproved heating and cooking utensils, whereby the stove is madecomplete and efficient for its purpose. I

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming part ofthis specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure 1 is aperspective view of my improved oil-stove. Fig. 2 is asectional elevation of the same. Fig. 3 is a sectional view of one ofthe cooking utensils, taken in the line a; w of Fig. l; and Fig. 4 is asectional elevation of the removable steaming-pan.

The main oil-receptacle A of my improved oil-stove is annular in form,and serves as a supply to the smaller central wick-chambers, B B,through the pipes d d, which connect the said oil receptacles orchambers at the bottom of the chambers, as shown in Fig. 2. The chambersB B receive the wicks at the narrow openings a a, and the wick-chambersare enlarged at b b to receive the wick-wheels c 0.

Between the wick-chambers is formed the central flue or draft-passage,O, and by means of the triangular plates 0 e and the sloping plates 6 e,which are secured at their lower ends upon the annular oil-receptacle Aand form a pyramidal chamber surrounding the wick-chambers, are formedthe side fines or draft-passages, D D.

Surrounding the plates 0 e is the circular housing E, which is cut awayat f f, as shown clearly in Fig. 1, and is bent so as to form the shelfg, which stands a short distance below the narrow openings (0 a of thewick-chambers.

Upon the shelf g is hinged the cap F, which is adapted to fit over theupper ends of the wick-chamber, as shown in. Fig. 2. In the centralopening in this hinged cap is secured the central strip, h", whichisimmediately over the central draft-passage, O, and serves to divide thedraft and make it equal to each wick.

To the outside of the housing E is hinged the large rim or collar I,which incloses the I to the outlet-openingsjj, and retains the heat incontact with all parts of the oven.

Upon the sides of the jacket K are placed the water-heating kettle Grand the cooking utensils H and L. The water-heating kettle G is formedat its bottom with the chamber, hollow arm, or pipe h, which, when thekettle is in place, passes through the slot or opening i made in thejacket, and reaches into the combustion-chamber under the horizontalbottom of the oven, and each of the utensils H and L is formed with thechambers, hollow arms, or pipes 71/ and Z, which are adapted to passthrough the slots or openings '5 1" made in the jacket, and to reachinto the combustion-chamber under the oven, as clearly shown in Fig. 2.

The water-heating kettle and the cooking utensils are held in place uponthe stove by means of the hooks and eyes a, b, and c, as shown in thedrawings. When the utensils are in place and filled with water or othersubstance desired to be heated a quantity of the water or othersubstance will be contained in the chambers, hollow arms, or pipes, andwill be in close contact with the flame in the combustion-chamber, andwill be rapidly heated, which will cause rapid circulation of the wateror other substance from the chambers, arms, or pipes to the main body ofthe utensils, and will thus cause the whole quantity to be quicklyheated. The openings or slots formed through the jacket for the passageof the arms, chambers, or pipes of the utensils are provided with thesliding doors 6 e, which close the openings when the utensils are takenoff, so that the stove may be used with or without the utensils, or withany of them, as desired. It only baking is to be done, the utensilsshould all be removed, as then the heat from the burner will come indirect contact with the bottom of the oven.

It will be observed that the construction of 100 the burner furnishesdouble draft-passages from the bottom of the stove to the flame,whichinsures perfect combustion of the oil without smoke or disagreeablesmell, besides increasing the intensity of the heat, and it will beunderstood that the draft-passages, being made within the annularoil-reservoir, serve also to keep the main body of the oil cool, whichprevents the formation of gases in the reservoir, and thus renders thestove free from all danger of explosion.

The utensil L is.provided with the removable steaming-pan P, which isprovided with the perforated bottom 12, as shown in Fig. 4.

It will be understood that the hollow arm or pipes of the heatingutensils may be made in various forms. They may be made a plain chamberor hollow arm,'as shown in Fig. 2'; or they may be divided, as shown inFig. 3; or they may be madein the form of apipe, straight or coiled, asmay be found most expedient.

Instead of having the side draft-passages pass through the center of theoil-reservoir, as above described, they may be made to take the air fromthe sides of the reservoir or above it, as may be desired.

Having thus fully described my invention, I claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent 1. In an oil-stove, the combination, with thewick-tubes B, the air-passages D, and the housing E, provided with theshelf g, ofthe hinged cap F, substantially as and for the purposes setforth. I

2, In an oil-stove, the combination, with the housing E, of the collar Iand the oven J, provided with thejacket K and outlet-openings j,substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

3. In an oil-stove, the combination, with the jacket K, provided withthe openings it, of the vessel H, provided with the hollow arm h, andprojecting into the combustion-chamber under the oven, substantially asand for the purpose set forth.

4. In an oil-stove, the combination, with semicircular jacket K,provided with the openings t, of the water-vessel G, made to conform inshape on one side to the said jacket, and

provided with the hollow arm h, and securedthereto by the hooks and eyesa, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
